Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I really really doubt it. There is the Impact board to fill that space. I think ASUS realized Deluxe and Impact were too much in that space...

+1. If they haven't released the Z97i-Pro/Deluxe by now, they probably won't.
By the time Broadwell is out next year, there's a good chance that the price of the Impact VII will have dropped very close to the price the Pro/Deluxe board slots in (Impact VII is $240, the Impact VI is now under $200, and the Z87-Deluxe started at $190).

Rebootin is echoing most my thoughts. The Impact VII is extremely high end. And the Plus is okay, but it doesn't come close to the premium feel of the Z87I Deluxe, which is why I think Asus might release a Z97 Deluxe/Pro next year to get another product cycle in for ITX. By Quarter 2 next year, Almost everyone who would have wanted a Z97I-Plus or and Impact VII would've gotten it already.
Wonder if we get a Z97I-Pro/Deluxe if it will be in white and black to match the X99 Deluxe. That would be sweet.

By Q2'15, everyone that needed a Z97i-Deluxe/Pro will have conceded and purchased either the cheaper Z97i-Plus, or the pricier Impact VII instead (or another brand, like MSI that actually offers something comparable).
Don't get me wrong. I do agree that ASUS *should* be selling a Z97i-Deluxe/Pro, just that it seems very late in the release cycle to be doing so between now and June '15. They really should've had this product on shelves back in May/June during the Haswell Refresh and Devil's Canyon launches.
As a fellow consumer I agree with you entirely. We should have had a Deluxe/Pro ITX already.
But from a business standpoint, Asus would be going into next year with no ITX releases at all. Asus always has an ITX release every year, so in order to stay competitive they're going to have to give us something Q2'15.
If not a Z97I-Deluxe then maybe...
Oh my god.
Guys! Do you think we'll get a TUF series ITX next year? I'd be just as excited for that as I would be a Deluxe.
With armor. Please have armor.
